"Oh, the female protagonist has woken up. Now this is going to be fun. Let's play a game where only one survives. Since you're awake, you should choose. You and that man, only one of you can live. Who do you want to survive? One survives, the other is doomed to die. Think carefully. I am going to start the countdown." The old man behind Ariel spoke excitedly as he began his countdown.
"Ten, nine..."
"Pfft!" Ariel couldn't help but burst into laughter, interrupting the old man's countdown, which made him unhappy.
"You need to give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, you can die now." The old man's voice was low, like someone scratching a chalkboard, particularly shrill and unpleasant.
